Both of these (machine learning and deep learning) are critical components of the most remarkable advancements in AI over the past decade: image classification, language translation, speech generation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Neural networks<\/strong>, which are loosely inspired by the way the human brain operates, can be found at the core of the deep learning architectures that are capable of performing the functions listed above. Each neural network is composed of numerous connected processing elements (neurons) that are linked together and that are organized into multiple layers of neurons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Artificial_Intelligence_AI_%E2%80%93_The_Broadest_Concept\"><\/span><strong>Artificial Intelligence (AI) \u2013 The Broadest Concept<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Artificial Intelligence is the development of machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. At its most basic, AI can be nothing more than a set of if-else rules programmed by a human: if something is in the way, stop moving; else, continue. At its most advanced, it is the system generating your next-sentence suggestions, beating world champions at Go, and operating self-driving vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key point is scope: AI is an umbrella. It covers anything that makes machines behave intelligently, from hand-crafted rules to learned neural networks. A machine doesn&#8217;t need to be &#8220;thinking&#8221; in any philosophical sense to be considered AI. It only needs to simulate intelligent behavior in its outputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It can be rule-based.<\/strong> Classic AI used explicit logic rules written by humans. These systems were &#8220;intelligent&#8221; in that they could reason, but only within the exact boundaries their programmers anticipated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It covers a spectrum from narrow to general.<\/strong> Narrow AI handles one specific task. General AI (AGI), which can perform any cognitive task a human can, is still theoretical and has not been achieved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Machine Learning is how most modern AI learns.<\/strong> Contemporary AI systems typically use ML to acquire intelligence from data rather than having that intelligence manually programmed by engineers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>AI encompasses far more than ML.<\/strong> Natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, expert systems, and planning algorithms are all AI, only some of which rely exclusively on machine learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Machine_Learning_ML_%E2%80%93_AI_That_Learns_From_Data\"><\/span><strong>Machine Learning (ML) \u2013 AI That Learns From Data<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Machine Learning is the branch of AI where machines build their own intelligence by learning from data rather than following explicit instructions. Instead of a programmer writing rules that say &#8220;if the email contains these words, mark it as spam,&#8221; an ML system is shown thousands of examples of spam and non-spam emails, identifies patterns on its own, and builds a model that can then apply those learned patterns to emails it has never seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The keyword is improve. ML algorithms don&#8217;t just process data; they get measurably better as they are exposed to more of it. Performance improves over time. The model that saw a million examples will outperform the one that saw a thousand, assuming it was trained well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It learns without being explicitly programmed.<\/strong> Engineers provide data and an objective \u2014 the algorithm discovers the rules itself. This is fundamentally different from traditional programming, where humans write the rules and machines execute them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Performance improves with more data.<\/strong> Unlike a fixed rule-based system, ML models become more accurate the more training data they process.

Where traditional ML often requires engineers to manually identify and extract the relevant features from raw data (a process called &#8220;feature engineering&#8221;), deep learning systems discover those features automatically by processing raw data through successive layers of transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feed a deep learning model millions of labeled images of cats and dogs, and it learns, without being told what to look for, that ear shapes, fur patterns, and facial proportions are the relevant distinguishing features. This automatic feature discovery is what makes deep learning so powerful for tasks like image recognition, speech synthesis, and language understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It automates feature extraction. <\/strong>Traditional ML requires humans to identify which aspects of the raw data the model should pay attention to.
